FOXBORO -- New England Revolution midfielder and Leominster resident Diego Fagundez has been called into the Uruguay Under-20 team by head coach Fabian Coito, according to a Revolution press release.

Fagundez will travel to Lima, Peru, on Sunday for a pair of friendlies against Peru on Monday and Wednesday. He is expected to re-join the Revs on Friday.

This is the second time Fagundez has been called in by the Uruguay Under-20 team. He also spent a week in camp with the U20s in October 2012.

Fagundez, 19, was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, and moved to the U.S. when he was a young child. He grew up in Leominster and is a U.S. permanent resident. He is in his fourth professional season with the Revolution, having signed as a Homegrown player in November 2010.
